Commentaires racistes, contrôles plus fréquents, voire violences, voilà comment les personnes d’origines ethniques différentes vivent le maintien de l’ordre en Europe. Pour autant, du fait du manque de données au niveau national, il est difficile d’évaluer pleinement l’ampleur du problème et d’élaborer des réponses efficaces.
